Capt. Jon took the 3 of us out and showed us a great time. Jon was very helpful in giving us tips on how to use our bait and lures as we are all inexperienced. He was always professional, helpful and was just as excited to see us catch fish as we were. We will be using Capt. Jon from here on out for fishing guides and you should too.
